According to the blog post, Mark Hutchinson started his adventures as a young boy and after school, he travelled to Africa where he conducted several tours to different parts and started up a company called Untamed. Its purpose was adventure and managing groups to hold visitations to different places and organizing lodges, which became an ecotourism and training business named Avana, but was sold to a public company, so that he could refocus on his main agenda of sustaining the wild.

He established the Wild Ark with the mission of sustaining as much as possible ecosystem for the wild, through purchases of natural habitat where these wild are conserved, thus rehabilitating such lands and it involves building and construction of sustainable businesses, to protect these environments. In addition, he studied a master’s in conservation so that he could understand how to conserve the wild he is fighting for and be of more help to the conservation industry.

In addition, he connects to the wild through research and tours to different animal reserves. He constructed his home near a bush and the sea so that he is able to enjoy both at any time.
